Cho Yong-Hyung is praised in the K-League for his positional sense and steadiness under pressure.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=[[CBC.ca|CBC]]|title=Cho Yong-Hyung: South Korea’s defensive everyman|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/fifaworldcup/southkorea/story/2010/06/09/sp-cho-yong-hyung.html | date=9 June 2010}}</ref> Cho has become regarded as the successor to [[Hong Myung-Bo]],{{citation needed|date=March 2019}} South Korea's legendary center half who took part in four FIFA World Cups.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[FIFA]]|title=2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Players|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/players/player=237771/profile.html}}</ref>

== Club career==
Cho joined [[K League]] club [[Jeju United FC|Bucheon SK]] in 2005, and was voted into the [[K League Best XI]] after his successful debut season. He continued playing for the club in the 2006 season when it changed its stronghold to [[Jeju Province]]. He was called "the next [[Hong Myung-bo]]" by showing great potential in Bucheon and Jeju.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.gnmaeil.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=71167 |script-title=ko:‘제2의 홍명보’ 조용형, 경남FC 이적 |language=ko |publisher=Gyeongnam Maeil |date=2007-01-16 |access-date=2023-11-10}}</ref>
===K-League===
Cho debuted for [[Bucheon SK]] in the 2005 season, when he was voted into the [[K-League Best XI]] after a successful season. He continued with the club in the 2006 season when it converted to [[Jeju United FC|Jeju United]]. In 2007, he spent a season at [[Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma]], the most successful K-League club in terms of Championship victories, before transferring back to Jeju United for the 2008 season where he continues to play to this day.


Cho was traded to [[Gyeongnam FC]] before the 2007 season because Jeju United wanted to bring players whose hometown was located in its region. However, he was sold to [[Seongnam FC|Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma]] just after joining Gyeongnam,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://m.news.nate.com/view/20070121n00659?sect=s02&list=rank&cate=interest |script-title=ko:조용형, 제주에서 경남으로, 다시 성남으로 |language=ko |publisher=JoyNews24 |website=[[Nate (web portal)|Nate]] |date=2007-01-21 |access-date=2023-11-10}}</ref> and played as a [[Defender (association football)#Full-back|full-back]], not a centre-back. He did not live up to expectations in Seongnam due to unfamiliar role.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://star.ohmynews.com/NWS_Web/OhmyStar/at_pg.aspx?CNTN_CD=A0000829989 |script-title=ko:실수를 통해 더욱 성장하는 조용형 |publisher=[[OhmyNews]] |language=ko |date=2008-02-27 |access-date=2023-11-10}}</ref>
===Premier League===
In 2010, it was claimed that European interest in Cho had risen. The English [[Premier League]] clubs [[Aston Villa]], [[Fulham FC|Fulham]] and [[Newcastle United]], were interested in him and wanted to sign him in summer 2010 after the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tribalfootball.com/south-korea-defender-cho-yong-hyung-wanted-aston-villa-939431 |title=Archived copy |access-date=1 July 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325024456/http://www.tribalfootball.com/south-korea-defender-cho-yong-hyung-wanted-aston-villa-939431 |archive-date=25 March 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>


Cho returned to Jeju United only a year after leaving the club. He once again had a hard time in 2009 season when he was operated on for a knee cartilage injury and showed poor performances.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.jejunews.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=256344 |script-title=ko:제주utd "아! 조용형...시즌 개막이 눈앞인데..." |language=ko |publisher=Jeju News |date=2009-02-18 |access-date=2023-11-10}}</ref> He also conceded eight goals in a match against [[Pohang Steelers]] in the middle of the season. However, he helped Jeju maintain its first place in the league until the first half of the next season, and then left a good impression in the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.donga.com/news/Sports/article/all/20170927/86564689/9 |script-title=ko:[사커 피플] 웃음 찾은 조용형 “이젠 정상에 서고 싶다” |language=ko |publisher=[[The Dong-a Ilbo]] |date=2017-09-28 |access-date=2023-11-10}}</ref>
===Qatar Stars League===

Cho moved to the Qatar Stars League after the end of the 2010 World Cup to Al Rayyan Sports Club on a 2-year deal, until the end of the 2011–2012 season.<ref>{{cite web|title=Al Rayyan capture Cho|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=1279923.html|publisher= |website=FIFA.com|accessdate=19 June 2013}}</ref> After the end of the 2011–2012 season, Cho renewed his contract for one more year which kept him at the Qatari club until the end of the 2012–2013 season.
Some [[Premier League]] clubs were interested in Cho in the summer after the World Cup,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-scouting-report-all-about-cho-127396 |title=Aston Villa Scouting Report: All about Cho Yong-hyung |publisher=Birmingham Live |date=2010-06-30 |access-date=2023-11-11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tribalfootball.com/south-korea-defender-cho-yong-hyung-wanted-aston-villa-939431 |title=South Korea defender Cho Yong-hyung wanted by Aston Villa |publisher=Tribal Football |access-date=1 July 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325024456/http://www.tribalfootball.com/south-korea-defender-cho-yong-hyung-wanted-aston-villa-939431 |archive-date=25 March 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> but they did not give specific offers to him. He moved to [[Qatar Stars League]] club [[Al-Rayyan SC|Al-Rayyan]] on a 2-year deal, until the end of the 2011–12 season.<ref>{{cite web |title=Al Rayyan capture Cho |url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=1279923.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101104020449/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=1279923.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 November 2010 |publisher=FIFA |access-date=19 June 2013}}</ref> There was an unusual option of joining [[La Liga]] club [[Málaga CF|Málaga]], owned by the owner of Al-Rayyan, at the end of the contract period in his contract with Al-Rayyan. Nevertheless, he extended his contract two years later because he did not have confidence to compete with Málaga defenders.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sports.hankooki.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=6530198 |script-title=ko:조용형이 말하는 중동-말라가-제주 “제주는 날 4번 불러준 곳” |publisher=Sports Hankook |language=ko |date=2020-08-05 |access-date=2023-11-11}}</ref>

He was largely criticised by being nicknamed "Huh Yong-hyung", which meant manager [[Huh Jung-moo]]'s son, before the World Cup. However, their flak was changed to praise after his outstanding defence in the World Cup.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://weekly.hankooki.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=7075091 |script-title=ko:조용형은 어떻게 월드컵 욕받이에서 영웅으로 거듭났나 |publisher=[[Hankook Ilbo]] |language=ko |date=2022-11-21 |access-date=2023-11-14}}</ref>

Cho Yong-hyung (Korean: 조용형, born 3 November 1983) is a South Korean football coach and former player, who is the assistant coach of South Korea national football team.

Club career

[edit]

Cho joined K League club Bucheon SK in 2005, and was voted into the K League Best XI after his successful debut season. He continued playing for the club in the 2006 season when it changed its stronghold to Jeju Province. He was called "the next Hong Myung-bo" by showing great potential in Bucheon and Jeju.[1]

Cho was traded to Gyeongnam FC before the 2007 season because Jeju United wanted to bring players whose hometown was located in its region. However, he was sold to Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma just after joining Gyeongnam,[2] and played as a full-back, not a centre-back. He did not live up to expectations in Seongnam due to unfamiliar role.[3]

Cho returned to Jeju United only a year after leaving the club. He once again had a hard time in 2009 season when he was operated on for a knee cartilage injury and showed poor performances.[4] He also conceded eight goals in a match against Pohang Steelers in the middle of the season. However, he helped Jeju maintain its first place in the league until the first half of the next season, and then left a good impression in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[5]

Some Premier League clubs were interested in Cho in the summer after the World Cup,[6][7] but they did not give specific offers to him. He moved to Qatar Stars League club Al-Rayyan on a 2-year deal, until the end of the 2011–12 season.[8] There was an unusual option of joining La Liga club Málaga, owned by the owner of Al-Rayyan, at the end of the contract period in his contract with Al-Rayyan. Nevertheless, he extended his contract two years later because he did not have confidence to compete with Málaga defenders.[9]

International career

[edit]

Cho made his first appearance for South Korean national team against Chile on 30 January 2008.[10]

Cho was named the best defender of the 2010 EAFF Championship,[11] although he had difficulty marking Chinese players in the competition.[12]

Cho was selected for the national team for the 2010 FIFA World Cup,[13] but he was suspected of incompetence by Korean fans. He was largely criticised by being nicknamed "Huh Yong-hyung", which meant manager Huh Jung-moo's son, before the World Cup. However, their flak was changed to praise after his outstanding defence in the World Cup.[14]

Style of play

[edit]

Cho could play as a full-back or a defensive midfielder, but he showed his best performances when playing as a centre-back. He was praised in the K League for his positional sense and steadiness under pressure.[15]
